Clinical Studies

Review evidence demonstrating the impact continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use can have on glycemic control and variability.

 


 

Evidence for Benefits of CGM Use

Recognized as a standard of care in diabetes management by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the Endocrine Society,1,2,3 continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use has proven to both reduce A1C and time spent in hypoglycemia regardless of delivery method.4,5 Regular CGM use is also associated with an increase of time spent in range,4,6 a reduction of severe hypoglycemic incidents,7,8 and associated with many behavioral changes that promote significant positive change in diabetes self-management.9
